In TDX guest, the attestation process is used to verify the TDX guest
trustworthiness to other entities before provisioning secrets to the
guest. The first step in the attestation process is TDREPORT
generation, which involves getting the guest measurement data in the
format of TDREPORT, which is further used to validate the authenticity
of the TDX guest. TDREPORT by design is integrity-protected and can
only be verified on the local machine.

To support remote verification of the TDREPORT in a SGX-based
attestation, the TDREPORT needs to be sent to the SGX Quoting Enclave
(QE) to convert it to a remotely verifiable Quote. SGX QE by design can
only run outside of the TDX guest (i.e. in a host process or in a
normal VM) and guest can use communication channels like vsock or
TCP/IP to send the TDREPORT to the QE. But for security concerns, the
TDX guest may not support these communication channels. To handle such
cases, TDX defines a GetQuote h...
